Dalek Power Grid Control Panel (Primary Sabotage Panel)
The Doctor smashes the glass cover on this small secondary panel in the Dalek city's control system, revealing a revolving disc inside. Susan spots this panel alongside the main power cable panel and points it out as a vital component. The Doctor connects the disc's mechanism to Susan's TARDIS key, creating a short-circuit that triggers power failures across the city, including the control room. This panel is part of a coordinated sabotage effort with the main static-electricity cable panel.
